Description:

The Protran Safe Turn Alert (STA) System is a standalone, passive warning system designed to play an audible warning message external and/or internal to the vehicle when the vehicle is making a right or left hand turn. The system also has the option for flashing LED strobe lights that act as a visual warning to pedestrians as the vehicle is turning. There are two options for triggering the STA system; proximity sensors mounted near the pitman arm or the system can be triggered with the vehicle’s blinker.
